Have you gone to settings, apps, running, and made sure there is nothing sneaky running that you don't know about?

Your "Cell Standby" seems high to me. Can you touch the battery discharge graphic and take a screenshot of the radio strength and usage screen?

I am experiencing the exact same thing after the jellybean update. GPS location is way off, losing 4g connection, etc. It must have something to do with the update. I want to remove the update!!!!!!

Same thing here....if I had the option...give me back my Ice Cream Sandwich. Mine keeps rebooting itself.....just had a long phone call and after I hung up.....that's it....reboot.

Very frustrated and I know when I call 611 or go to the store....there will be no fix.

Have you tried a factory reset? Not from within Jellybean itself, but from turning off your phone and going into recovery mode at boot? I have yet to experience any issues with the phone and it could always be a 3rd party application not knowing how to react to this new OS.

If you would like to try this option, follow these steps.

Turn off the device
Hold the power button and the volume keys together at the same time
Wait until you see "Start"
Using your volume keys, press the up key until you reach "Recovery mode" (The Google logo will appear)
Press power + up volume key until you see "Android system recovery <3e>
From here, use your volume down key to select "wipe data/ factory reset"

You will lose all your data, hence a "factory reset". You can download a free application from Google Inc called "Google Drive" which comes with 5GB free of online storage. You can upload important files there!

Verizon Wireless heavily tests future ota upgrades and they wouldn't release any corrupt updates.

After the Google logo appears and I try to go to step 5, I get the green

little robot on his back, 'tummy' open with a red triangle and exclamation

mark in it....and it stays there for a long time???

Then the phone reboots....problems stay.

I do not know who you are Kevin but I was at the Verizon store on Friday

and I was told to call customer service as they are not responsible for the

software...it's Samsung's problem!?

I am a +$300 a month client and this is the service I get!

I will close my account, pay whatever it takes and go someplace else if

this doesn't get fixed fast...this did not happen on my request and I'm

stuck with it.

I found the sneaky culprit and it is not Verizon bloat. The problem for me was Google now. I had it on and my battery went down to 80% in 2 hours 30 minutes. I turned it off and my batter y was still at 70% after 8 hours 56 minutes. This morning it is still at 90% after 2 hours.

To turn it off (Droid 4)

1 press the magnifying glass.

2 When the search screen appears press the options button (3 horizontal lines) .

3 Select settings.

4 Make sure the google now setting is set to off.

This is what fixed it for me.

Ann, my "Cell Standby" is high. I know it has been a while since you made that observation as to the OP, but do you have any suggestions for reducing battery usage for Cell Standby?

Greatly appreciated!

Ann154

A high cell standby might mean you have a weak signal. What information does the cell standby give you? Can you post a screenshot of the detailed graph and the cell standby information? There might be more questions, but let's start there.

I am not using Google now. However what I did find is that Google Play services is the ultimate bad actor. I only turn it on (Enable it) when I need to update my phone book, calendar, or need to use navigation. Then immediately disable it again when you finish updating Gmail for contacts, refresh on calendar, or you reach you destination. If you disable AND Force stop / uninstall updates of Google Play services your batter will last all day unless you spend a lot of time talking on it. You can find it under app info under Settings. Swipe to the left 3 times in app info to all applications to find it near the bottom of the list if it has been disabled and you need it to update something or use navigation.
